Goodbye, the Old Square

More than 290 freshmen were officially admitted into the university on November 10 at the Bishkek Philharmonic Hall. Every Initiation of AUCA differs from the previ-ous years’, because every Initiation has own special freshmen, its own story and creative ideas of Nikolay Shulgin and his team. First part is the official ceremony, where fresh-men and the newly selected Student Senate raise their right hand to pledge to be wor-thy of their status as students of AUCA and become a part of this community. After the official part, the Mirrors Theatre shows the amazing, inimitable performance. “Good-bye, the Old Square, goodbye!” is the name of Initiation 2014. It is dedicated to the latest changes taking place. The Mirrors Theatre represented the situation of the farewell to our old campus.

1. We asked the stage manager Nikolay Shulgin how the preparation for the perfor-mance has been going.

2. For the first time, The New Star team went to the backstage of the rehearsals, where we got into the very nervous and ex-citing atmosphere. Despite that, the Mirrors artists shared some of their feelings with us about upcoming performance.

3. After the performance of the Mirrors Theatre, some of our guests were glad to share their expression and opinion on the concert.

AUCA students and faculty would like to thank everyone who was a part of the prepar-ing and performing process of the unforget-table Initiation Ceremony. Great job!

VOX POPVox Populi (lat.) – voice of the people.We dedicate this column to our readers and their

opinions on the asked question.

Who or what inspires you the most?

“Goodwill ambassadors inspire me to help people, to end the world hunger, to fight for equal human rights; they inspire me to make this world a better place for all the people, regardless of the skin color, ethnic or reli-gious background and sexu-al orientation.”

Gera Berdibekova

“Failure. The feeling of being denied or rejected makes me want to work much harder. When I have a failure, instead of blaming someone or something, I try to work more. I had that failure only because I wasn’t good enough. The feeling of not having a failure by being the best inspires me.”

Erlan Amiraev

“I would say, my father. There are actually reasons for choosing him. The main reason is that he is a morally principled person. He never gives up until he reaches his goals and he fo-cuses all his efforts on his family and keeps it safe. «You do good to people, and the good will come to you» – this is a saying that

he always uses and advises me to follow.”Moeen Sabisi

“The life itself inspires me. I can accidently fall in love and this man will become my inspiration, he might break my heart and the desire to be hap-py again will inspire me. I came back from London full of dreams about hav-ing a small apartment near the Big Ben and it inspires me. I am surrounded by so

many interesting people. They are in different clubs, they take part in international conferences, they per-form. And then I realize – WOW, that’s something I should try as well.”

Grana Ziia

“Just imagine that you achieved something you’ve wanted for a long time. Maybe you got an A for a course that seemed to be complicated, or you struggled learning a musical piece and finally made it. That feeling of accomplishment is a per-fect source for inspiration

– once you feel it, you want more. It’s like an end-less circle – you challenge yourself just to feel this accomplishment in the end, and feeling inspired for doing something is the initial goal.”

Inside of the Exchange Program Column

Уверена, что каждый студент АУЦА когда-либо сталкивался с критикой в адрес нашего университе-та. Критика эта бывает обоснована. Везде есть свои недостатки, и АУЦА не является исключением. Но в последнее время на нас обрушилось такое коли-чество несправедливых высказываний, основанных на догадках и стереотипах, что хочется заступиться за наш университет и рассказать, что это за место глазами его студента.

Это место, где твой круг общения не ограничива-ется одним лишь потоком или департаментом. На одной паре в аудитории ты можешь встретить пред-ставителей всех курсов и специальностей. Это бес-спорно является главным преимуществом нашей системы образования, которое стирает границы между студентами и создает атмосферу целостности и единства.

Это место, где хорошая успеваемость находит-ся в почете среди студентов. Высокий GPA являет-ся предметом зависти и стремления многих наших студентов, чего не скажешь об остальных учебных заведениях Кыргызстана. Это говорит о заинтере-сованности и вовлеченности учащихся в процесс учебы, что благоприятно влияет на качество полу-чаемого образования.

Это место, где можно и даже НУЖНО выражать свое мнение. Ты без всякого страха или стеснения вправе высказать свою точку зрения, так как никто не посмеет высмеять или осудить его. Ты можешь возразить преподавателю или указать на его ошиб-ку, поделиться своими мыслями, не боясь при этом ошибиться. Свобода слова – она у нас всё же есть.

И наконец, это место, где хочешь находиться даже в свободное от учебы время. Просиживаешь весь день в «Браво», ищешь повод задержаться, так как не хочешь прерывать беседы и покидать своих друзей. Какой ещё университет в нашей стране мо-жет похвастаться такой преданностью со стороны студентов?

С любовью,Довольный студент

Дорогой мой читатель, сегодня речь пойдет о странном – о внешности.

У меня в классе есть девочка, она красивая (моё субъективное мнение). Скажу сразу, что распрекрасной принцессой я ее не считаю, но одевается она стильно, волосы опрятно уложены, носит линзы и маникюр у нее всегда новый, в общем, выглядит она всегда так, будто готовилась к фотосету. А голос у нее нежный, как у ребенка, и манера речи детская. И когда она говорит, звучит это как милый лепет.

Но недавно я прислушался к тому, что она говорит. И на удивление она говорит очень умные вещи, речь у нее слажена, мысль хорошая и преподносит все она аргументированно. Но какова реакция людей? Они не слышат, что эта девочка говорит. Они лишь слышат, как она говорит и реакция у них «соответственная» – ее никто не воспринимает всерьез. Одно дело, когда твои одногруппники так реагируют, но совершенно другое дело, когда твой преподаватель, взрослый человек (!), ведется на такую вещь, как стереотипы.

Обидно и досадно, что если ты не выглядишь, как типичный отличник, то к тебе отношение будет сразу другое. Неужели, чтобы эту девочку услышали, ей придется надеть очки и сделать умный вид? Почему взрослые люди, профессионалы своего дела, не могут опустить тот факт, что девочка эта лишь любит ухаживать за собой? Почему внешность, казалось бы, в высшем учебном заведении, играет такую важную роль?

Теперь я каждый раз замечаю грустный взгляд этой девушки, когда ее просто не слушают. Еще немного и, я уверен, она начнет строить из себя неопрятно выглядящего и глубоко мыслящего человека и сломается перед этой системой стереотипов, лишь бы начали слушать, ЧТО она говорит, а не КАК говорит.

Досадно, друзья,

Ваш Недовольный Студент

Let’s talk about the most exciting part about being an exchange stu-dent in the United States, entertainment!

Studying abroad is not only about studying, even though it is the most im-portant part of it .It is also about discovering new places, walking day and night without sleeping, seeing different beauties, celebrating new holidays and, of course, partying with your new fellows.

This is what my study abroad is all about! Pro-gram in International Education (PIE) at Bard College is always orga-nizing different trips to New York, excursions, canoeing, hiking and tea parties. Also, they are absolutely free. During American holidays you would have four to five days off, which you don’t want to spend on campus.

As staying in the city and renting hostels is about $ 40-60 per night (which I find extremely expensive for students), I’ve tried to come up with

some useful and cheap (or free) ideas of staying in the city:

• Couchserfing.com – if you are looking for a place you can stay at for a night, this is a good re-source to find people who would like to host you for free. These people just want to make different international friends and know more about your culture.

• Kyrgyz Club in New York – this is a group on Facebook of all Kyrgyz people who are based in the United States. If you post a status that you

need a place for a night, I’m sure some of your countrymen would be happy to host you.

As for the entertain-ment, the United States is one big country of it. My personal list of entertain-ment includes:

• Meeting a Hollywood star, Joseph Gordon Lev-itt from the movie 500 days of Summer;

• Spending one sleep-less night in New York with my friends, just walking around the city and having fun;

• Going from one is-land of New York to an-

other on a free station fer-ry boat, to see the Statue of Liberty;

• Getting to be famous on Times Square for one day: a photo of my friends and me was on the big screen right in the center of Times Square;

• Canoeing on the Hudson River – amazing experience;

• Visiting The New York Times office – an-other dream came true;

• Riding on the Thun-derbolt (американские горки);

• Dancing all night with my friends on Hal-loween.

This list is not over and every time I am add-ing something new.

Being an exchange student is the best experi-ence in my life! I encour-age you to study hard and apply for next exchange semesters. Trust me, it’s worth all the hard work.

Bard College’14

Issue 4 November 13, 2014

Registration for Spring 2015 started on November 1 at 10 am, unexpectedly soon for some students. There were many posts related to changing time or ‘evaluations’ of profes-sors in the official Orientation Week Facebook group. Some students posted screenshots with useful information about new courses, others kept trad-ing for convenient time or spe-cific professors.

“People, just consider for future that chocolate does not convert as a monetary unit during Online Registration. No one has changed the course in exchange to chocolate so offer something different.”

“The one who drops Philoso-phy will get half a kilo of meat.”

“Poor students of AUCA.”“This will be strange: I’m

giving two lollipops and 300 grams of mince for a seat in German for Beginners.”

It seems funny when you read it, but students do not think about professors who may also be looking through these posts.

Food for thought: Don’t you think you may offend a professor with your ‘evalua-tion’ of how they give grades, whether they are mean or not etc.?

Asel Kyrgyzbaeva, Direc-tor of the Registrar Office

How does the registra-tion go? What are the main problems that students face?

Relating to other registra-tions there seemed to be no

technical, Internet connection or database problems. With every year we have fewer prob-lems because we try to prevent many issues before the actual registration starts.

On Saturday some students chose incorrect status before the registration – they chose part-time instead of full-time. When you chose part-time, you have a more limited number of credits. Students began to come to our office and complained, “Why do we have such credit limits?” If this problem happens to you, we may not help you because it can only be solved at the IT Office.

As usual there were prob-lems with students who did not pay on time or students’ finan-cial questions were unsolved.

One of the most common problems during the registra-tion is related to insufficient amount of places available for the course. Perhaps, students

who failed the course, want to take it again. They come at the very first day of the registration and start calling to professors, and they want our office to talk to them. In this case the prob-lem with the amount of available places for the course should be solved at the department, where that particular course relates to. It is not our responsibility to open new spots.

Seniors come and ask for extra credits because they need to take some courses in order to graduate. Sometimes they want to take an additional course but they do not have enough cred-its for that. In this situation we have a rule that every senior may receive extra three credit courses free of charge if s(he) meets all the other course re-quirements for graduation and has a GPA of at least 3.0.

What about another common issue – if a stu-

dent has, for example, 29 credits registered instead of 30? Does that 1 left credit transfer to next semester?

In this case students should come to our department dur-ing the add/drop period and say that he has credits left from the last semester. Sometimes the system may not do it auto-matically and if a student comes to our office, we will check this information and add credits if needed.

What if you want to add extra credits, for example, 34 instead of 30 per semes-ter? How can this be done?

This year we do not do this anymore, because students ini-tially pay their contract for the amount of 60 credits per two semesters, not more. We kindly ask students to follow the re-quirements and try to fit their schedule according to the sys-tem’s plan.

What courses changed their credit numbers this year?

The course Basics of Fine Arts used to be a three credit course, but now it is a four cred-it course. General Education Department has made this deci-sion and we need to accept it.

What about such a prob-lem with schedule as time conflict and others? Who is responsible for that?

There were a few depart-ments which did not carefully make their schedule, and if a professor has overlapping time in his/her schedule, we do not check these schedule conflicts. Each department should be re-

sponsible for their own sched-ule, not us.

What can you tell about two credit courses for Rus-sian and Kyrgyz languag-es? Why there were no Russian Language 2 credit courses offered during the registration?

As far as I know there were 2 credit courses for Kyrgyz lan-guage during the registration, however I do not know why the Department of Russian Lan-guage did not offer their two credit courses. There is still a possibility to take them during summer school as it was last year.

What about the mis-takes in Financial Office’s list of students who have debts? Some students with full scholarships had de-nied access during the reg-istration and they had to come to AUCA to solve the problem.

It is every student’s respon-sibility to come to the Financial Office and check if they have any debts left before the regis-tration starts. Sometimes, due to technical problems, the last names of students who are on full scholarships may be among those students who have debts. If students make sure to come and check this information in advance, the registration will go without any problems for them.

Registration Frustration

Students of AUCA celebrate Hallow-een annually, and this year wasn’t an exception. However, there are some dif-ferences from last years’ Halloween cel-ebrations. For example, this year it was held at 5 pm instead of the lunchtime, with competitions, students with holiday makeup and costumes all over univer-sity, snacks and music staying the same. It’s important to note that it was more fun and there were more people at Bravo in the past years. In addition, there used to be big house parties, and according to sophomores, they enjoyed it a lot when they were freshmen last year. But this year’s Halloween party was held at CH-1 right after the celebration at Bravo at 5:30 pm. Its cost was 100 soms, and all

the collected money was later spent on organizing a Halloween celebration at an orphanage. According to some students, the party was quite fun, but others were comparing it to a usual high school disco party they used to have years ago. So the feedback was quite diverse and complex, and the first reason for that could be the fact that different groups of people were organizing them (as ads on the walls were saying), using only limited resourc-es of AUCA.

Actually, Bravo and CH-1 parties were held at different time and there were different decorations, and the par-ties had different names and seemed un-related to each other, which is also about the organizers being different. There-

fore, we decided to find out who actually these organizers are. As we know from advertisements, the event at Bravo was organized by Adele Omuralieva from Room 105, which is responsible for such activities at AUCA, and Unity Fund pre-pared the party at CH-1. We asked Adel and a representative of Unity Fund about Halloween organization, and they said that both parties were actually made in collaboration. We also found out that all Halloween home parties before were organized with the participation of Unity Fund, so in fact things have not change that much.

Despite the fact that there were two groups involved into organization, the Halloween parties could be held better,

attracting more students and more atten-tion. Decorations were more interesting and more fun than during the previous years’ celebrations, and makeup artists were awesome, but the parties them-selves weren’t so impressive. The reason is maybe that the organizing groups did not make it clear that the parties are ac-tually connected to each other, or 5 pm might haven been too late for the stu-dents. In any case, we just hope that the organizations of university holidays will be more elaborate and interesting in the future, for a bigger number of students at AUCA to be engaged.

Who was in charge of Halloween?

November 13, 2014 Issue 4

Student Senate represents the opinion of the students to the uni-versity faculty, staff and adminis-tration. Student Senate is the voice of the student community.

The Student Senate Elections were

held on November 6. It would not be ac-curate to say that elections were quiet, but it went calm. The student coordina-tor, the current Senate and volunteers were observing the event: no cases of cheating occurred. The same volunteers and observers were counting votes be-hind the closed door, while the candi-dates and many students were waiting for the results downstairs. 17 candidates ran for the Senate but only eight of them would become the members. The list of newly selected members is provided be-low. Welcome, the Student Senate 2014-2015!

1. Nurlan Asakeev, PSY-113№ 10 (83)Social CommitteeI want to be useful for mу university!

I will not promise something mysterious, because building of the new campus has brought enough financial troubles and making something extra would cause new expenditure.

2. Avazbek Kamalov, IBL-113№ 9 (76)Social Committee I am a member of the Youth Parlia-

ment of the Kyrgyz Republic. With the help of this project I gained invaluable experience in the field of politics, educa-tion and working with youth. I have been shaping my own personality in order to have firm character that has immunity to various temptations against public in-terest. My mission is to contribute to the well-being of AUCA, namely to its staff, professors and students. To pursue my mission I would love to serve as a bridge among over-mentioned group of people, that is why they are my ultimate value.

I follow Gandhi’s “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever” statement in my life.

3. Tilek Shabdanov, JMC-113 № 1 (74)Hearing CommitteeAUCA is one of my favorite places,

it gives me a lot, and now I want to give something back to this unique univer-sity.

I do not promise big changes like re-turning lunchtime or something else, be-cause I am not a person who can do this, and every student should understand

that the Student Senate is not govern-ment.

I think I can influence on the develop-ment of AUCA clubs. I will try to increase students’ contribution to the academic part of AUCA by the supporting their initiatives, proposals and complaints. I want our opinion and petitions to play a more important role for the administra-tion.

Let`s make our university more liberal!

4. Mariya Savelyeva, JMC-112 № 7 (66)PR CommitteeI am the public relations person.

When it comes to presenting or raising a question, I will be the first to do it. 1. Many people want to change things, but let’s be honest, you can’t go and change things without being able to explain why those changes need to be made. 2. There are not so many things the Senate can change actually, problems are never solved. I don’t promise to change things that are not in my competence, but I want to be as close to the administration as I am close to the students. There is al-ways a ‘provider’ in need when it comes to solving problems.

5. Meerim Nurbekova, ICP-113№ 14 (66)Vice-ChairmanThe main reason of my running for

the Senate is to demonstrate how the REAL Student Senator works. My goal is to create such environment where every single student will be HEARD or listened to and RESPONDED. I want to do the best of myself in order not to let down those who believe in me.

6. Temur Malik Ulmasov,ECO-113№ 12 (59)PR Committee

7. Nurida Nurmambetova, BA-112

№ 15 (57)Financial CommitteeI was a member of Enactus club and

Drama club during my freshman year. Nowadays I am a member of Business Clinic at AUCA. My motto is “Choose the best scenario of future and create it.”

I run for the Student Senate because I believe I can make huge influence for better changes in AUCA student life. One of my proposals is to solve concerns with studying abroad, collaborating with more colleges. Secondly, I will ensure that our endowment is invested ethically

and efficiently.Dear AUCA students, I am always

open to communicate with all of you. My goal is to turn your ideas into realities. Wish you successfully complete your ac-ademic year!

8. Malika Kudaibergenova, ICP-113№ 8 (56) Social CommitteeI am a graduate of Aychurok, the

Turkish lyceum in Bishkek. I love every-thing I have. I run for the Senate because I want to make at least small impact on the life of students in my university, it would improve my life, because my friends and me study in this university, and it will be personal experience and development for me. My motto is “Don’t be afraid, find yourself, express your-self!” Different and unique people study here, I want to get to know more of them, strive for balance in everywhere, almost never make plans, and act according to the situation, almost never despair.

For those who do not know, out of 10 positions, the last two are reserved for the Chairman, who is one of the previ-ous Senators, and for the NGA student, who also is going through the separate election.

9. Asel Madiyarbekova, NGA-114Hearing Committee

My life motto is «Just do it», it teach-es me to never give up and go only for-ward. As I remember I have always been a volunteer and tried to do something good for people. It is a great chance to do what I did all my life – be useful. I hope I will do all for AUCA, for the Senate. I’ll do my best.

10. Zhanygul Kaparova, IBL-112(5 out of 10 Senate members

voted)Chairman

First of all I’m honored to become the Chairman of the Student Senate 2014-2015 and I congratulate our new mem-bers with joining the Senate! We will do our best to meet all of the expectations. For the current academic year we have many plans to improve the student life in our university. I have to admit that our previous team worked very well and they all did their best to solve the issues addressed by students and work on im-provements overall. For those who are interested, you will be able to find the report of the amount of the work done

by the Senate on The New Star Facebook page.

Our new members are very ambi-tious and most of them already had very good plans to implement. One of the first goals we have is to have more social and academic activities for students, im-prove the clubs’ activities because one of our Trustees Jonathan Becker, the Vice President and the Dean for International Affairs and Civic Engagement at Bard College, was interested in building a net-work between the club activities of Bard and AUCA. We also really hope that our students address to us any of their wish-es and concerns, we will do all that is in our hands. Since some of the issues like working time of the library or free wa-ter are not in the scope of what we can change, we ask students to be more re-alistic. Only with the help, support and feedback from the students our work can really improve. We promise you that you will be proud of your Student Senate.

We will not find whether it was for

fun or not, but statistics show that 13 students voted against all the candi-dates.

Let’s see student attendance from different departments:

ANTH (13/35) – 37%AS (1/8) – 12.5%MATH (8/17) – 47%BA (95/204) – 46%ECO (57/148) – 38%ES (22/63) – 34%IBL (52/129) – 40%ICP (55/110) – 50%JMC (47/80) – 58%LAS (31/50) – 62%PSY (36/77) – 46%SOC (33/64) – 52.5%SFW (19/62) – 30%

Total: 497 out of 1047

Seniors – 55 out of 216 = 25%Juniors – 92 out of 210 = 45%Sophomores – 168 out of 320 = 52,

99%Freshmen – 150 out of 295 = 50.6%Visiting students – 6

Let’s wish our Senators do their best and bring no disappointment, because if the students voted, it means they trusted the candidates!

Introducing Student Senate 2014-2015

Issue 4 November 13, 2014

Nikolay ShulginWhat kind of differences did you see between

Initiation of 2013 and 2014?Every Initiation differs from others, because it is dedi-

cated to new freshmen and every freshman is unique. It can be noticed that in this year 70 percent of the participants of the theatre are freshmen, they are very talented!

What do like about Initiation, especially in the preparation process?

I like that sometimes we cope with our work!Could you tell about the budget of the Initiation

Ceremony?The budget is laid out at the beginning of the year. This

time the budget is not very different from the budget of previous years. Initiation to students is one of the largest events of the year. It is the only event, in which 60 actors participate. Even professional theatres of our country can-not do such kind of work, which Mirrors does. If someone proves that I am not right, I will put my hands on the rails. Other theatres cannot afford such kind of performance, I do not mean its financial part, I mean that they cannot afford 60 actors, who work absolutely for free, leave rehearsals at 10 pm, do their homework after rehearsals all night and sleep just for two or three hours, and it continues like that for one and a half months. What kind of actor does it make? Such fools live only here at AUCA.Therefore, it is impos-sible to copy it. If it were copied and made profitable, then the tickets would have cost at least 1500 KGS. But for us the main thing is that it all pays off in a spiritual sense. In 10 years you will remember three things: Orientation, Initia-tion and Commencement, so we make the best for you and we spend a lot of money for that.

What kind of difficulties did you face during the preparation?

The only problem is a place where our rehearsals are held. It is very small and uncomfortable, so I hope that in our new campus we will have a big one.

Backstage

Why did you decide to be a part of the Ini-tiation performance?

Saadat Musabaeva, ICP-112I love performing. I love the stage. I cannot de-

scribe the feelings I have when you are preparing for the concert, and those feelings are important to me. Being on stage is one of my favorite things to do. And that is why I am performing for the third time.

Tilek Shabdanov, JMC-113I am participating in Initiation for the second

time this year because I truly love the Mirrors The-atre. I think it is a very special and unique place to be at. It is a club and theatre which helps you feel the AUCA Spirit that everyone talks about. During the rehearsal for the first musical I promised myself that I am never going to participate in this crazy theatre again. After three performances with Mirrors I’ve started loving this place, I’ve started lovng what we do and I’ve started loving dancing, and more than anything else I love the people in this theatre and the atmosphere of the Mirrors.

Zalkar Toromyrzaev, LAS-114 When I was a child I did sports and music. AUCA

gave me an opportunity to feel this responsibility and these emotions again, the ones that you have be-fore the performance. And this gives me a chance to improve myself.

How are you feeling right before the per-formance?

Daria Chebakova, JMC-114I am worried a little, but at the same time I feel

proud for my university and for the students who are ready to perform.

Akyl Callaghan, IBL-114It feels like I have not eaten anything for three

days.Adelya Kadyralieva, MATH- 114This is my first and the most important perfor-

mance. We have been preparing for almost two months, and I want everything to be done perfectly, and I am sure that it will be. I have so many feelings right now: excitement, fear and happiness.

Maksat Subanbekov, IBL-113To be honest, last year’s Initiation was more in-

teresting to me, probably because that year I just entered AUCA and this was a new thing for me. But today’s concert is also cool in its own way, because it is dedicated to a different event.

Opinion

Aida Ishmuhamedova, NGA studentIt was a delightful, magnificent, unforgettable per-

formance with a very deep meaning. Every minute of it fascinated and amazed me at the heart of its bril-liance. It caused a storm of emotions. I want to ex-press my gratitude to all those who made such a won-derful show. This performance made me happy and I’m proud that I’m a student of NGA and AUCA.

Michelle Hoffman, AUCA professorI thought it was FANTASTIC! I can see how hard

students work for it but mostly I can see how much fun they had performing. A highlight for me was all the feelings and the spirit when they sing the AUCA anthem at the end. The creativity of the show is mind-blowing.

Mike Thicke, AUCA professorA highlight for me was the number with the hands.

I really loved that, it was amazing. And spelling out the words, and the wink. I loved the clown’s show as well. All of it was really amazing.

Altinay Zulpueva, BA-114I loved the concert program that AUCA students

prepared for the Initiation Ceremony. Music, dancing, singing – everything was beautiful and professional. My parents, me and the rest of the audience enjoyed the concert. After the ceremony my dad said, “I also now want to study at AUCA. But, unfortunately my time has passed!”

Iain Webb, AUCA professorThe show was impressive in its scale, its ambition

and its wide-ranging content. Singing, dancing, com-edy, drama, sadness and laughter. Highlights were the huge choreography pieces, the duet, the saga of the clowns, and of course the final song. Well done to all who were involved in such a professional show.

Aigul Ismailova, BA-111I didn’t expect such level of professionalism from

my peers. I am so proud that I personally know such talented performers. Especially I want to point out the clowns: Akyl, Sasha and Diana. They looked like real clowns. I liked Pentatonix cover of Daft Punk songs, it was performed even better here at the Philharmonic Hall. Among dances I liked the one with hands the most, where guys were wearing black T-shirts. Every-thing was perfect and sometimes I didn’t breath.

Kamilya Kadyrova, AUCA professorIt was the most spectacular, the most enthralling,

and the most awesome show I have ever seen. Espe-cially because I counted around 14 of my students from this and last year FYS sections performing on the stage. I feel so proud that AUCA has such talented stu-dents. Congratulations on your Initiation, freshmen!

Ликбез

Мы тут с вами, между прочим, не в бирюльки играем!Многие, наверное, не по-

нимают смысла колонки лик-беза. Ликбез, или ликвидация безграмотности – программа, при которой население массо-во обучается. Данная колонка предназначена для расшире-ния кругозора и увеличения словарного запаса.

Когда-то давно была игра – бирюльки. Цель этой игры была таковой: перед че-ловеком раскладывалась куча очень маленьких по размеру вещей, точнее, бирюлек, а че-ловек с помощью маленького крючка должен был подце-пить одну из этих бирюлек, не задев других. Конечно, эта игра развивает осторожность и терпение, однако это заня-тие довольно бесполезное. Поэтому и произошло выра-

жение «играть в бирюльки», то есть делать что-то пустяко-вое, заниматься ерундой.

Альма-матер, или «кор-мящая мать» с латыни – ещё со времён средневековья сту-денты стали называть так университеты, в которых они получили духовную пищу. В данное время так называют учебное заведение, которое дало и даёт образование, про-фессиональные учёные же так называют теперь свои ме-ста наибольшей их занятости. Получается, АУЦА – наша альма-матер (наша, потому что женского рода).

Зарубить на носу – ка-залось бы, какое кровожад-ное и довольно неприятное дело. Это выражение означа-

ет запомнить что-то крепко-накрепко. Однако это вовсе не имеет отношения к носу. В древности неграмотные люди, чтобы не забыть что-то, носили записные книжки, а точнее дощечки или палки, на которых они делали заруб-ки, чтобы затем, посмотрев на них, вспомнить то, что нужно. Именно они и назывались «носами», поэтому зарубите себе это на носу и больше не бойтесь за его сохранность.

Бить баклуши, или без-дельничать – кто такие ба-клуши и почему их бьют? Из-древле люди изготавливали посуду и довольно часто – из дерева. От целого бревна не-обходимо было отколоть бру-сок – баклушу. Сам процесс назывался «бить баклуши».

Этим занимались подмасте-рья, потому как особых уме-ний и талантов это не тре-бовало. «Избиение» баклуш – дело пустячное и было до-вольно трудно избежать на-смешек. Сейчас «бить баклу-ши» означает лениться.

Сосать под ложечкой – вызывать волнение или лёг-кую боязнь. Ложечка – это место ниже грудной клетки, расположенное между рёбра-ми. «Засосало под ложечкой» может означать или голод, или волнение, обычно всё по-нятно из контекста.

Семи пядей по лбу – так обычно говорят о людях очень умных. Пядь – древне-русская мера длины, пример-но равная расстоянию между растянутыми большим и ука-

зательным пальцами. В древ-ности казалось, что от раз-мера лба зависят умственные способности человека. Если прикинуть какой бы величи-ны был лоб человека с семью пядями во лбу, то можно по-нять – признаками красоты человек явно не был бы обре-менён.

Слово в тему: колли-вубл – ощущение в животе при волнении или страхе. Это слово произошло от англий-ских слов «colic» и «wobble». Этим словом можно заменить выражение «сосать под ло-жечкой».

That Awkward Moment…This phrase usually starts a

funny joke about a real life situ-ation happening to a person. On the one hand, when you use it properly, you may either attract someone’s attention or simply enjoy laughing at yourself with friends. On the other hand, if you misuse the phrase in dif-ferent contexts, you may end up looking silly. One thing that you want to be cautious about for sure is whether or not to fol-low the common understanding of the phrase or think about it before using it. In other words, you may cause ‘an awkward moment’ by saying something totally unrelated to this phrase.

Have you ever wondered how this phrase became so pop-ular among youth and how it can actually be misused? This is what I have found while surfing the net:

Where does it come from?

According to knowyour-meme.com:

That awkward moment is a hashtag often used as a preface when sharing stories about so-cially uncomfortable experienc-es on social networking sites. While the English adjective “awkward” traditionally means “socially inept, or with a lack of dexterity,” its broader, col-loquial usage of the word in de-scribing simply weird or mildly uncomfortable social situations has drastically increased since the late 2000s.

Conanhughes.com com-ments the following on the so-cial networks’ use of the phrase:

The phrase thereon became an indispensable source of hu-mor with widespread populari-ty on Twitter that it has inspired the creation of other relevant blogs and @ handlers. On Face-book, several pages and groups have funny awkward experi-ences as their names and con-sequently attracted more than a million of likes.

The Urban Dictionary has its

own view on this, defining that awkward moment as “some new Facebook fad where someone will put on their wall starting with that awkward moment and often times following it with something that’s not awk-ward at all”.

Examples of our stu-dents’ that awkward mo-ment situations

“When I forgot the name of the person I previously met.”

Bermet Alikeeva, JMC-112

“When you forget that you have a presentation today.”

Beka Egimbaeva, JMC-112

“When you know your level of English and you hear the teacher’s accent who talks in English.”

Mufiza Abdurasulova, ICP-113

“When a stranger starts

laughing so hard that you be-

gin laughing as well, without knowing the reason why.”

Talgat Subanaliev, JMC-113

“When students beg me to change their grades.”

Clyde Forsberg, ex-profes-sor at AUCA

“When telling to my friend that I am becoming cool and a minute later in Room 206 somebody asks who I am.”

Jane Mikhailidi, JMC-114

“When on the exam a pro-fessor asks an additional ques-tion.”

Alima Iliiazova, JMC-113

“When other people, whom you don’t even know, are aware of what happens in your life more than you are.”

Julia Komissarova, JMC-113

“When freshmen look older than you, a senior student.

When you know a person since your freshman or sophomore year, but you walk past each

other in the hallway when you become seniors, as if you have never met. When you’re stand-ing in a line at Kitchenette with

your professor and you don’t know whether to start talking

or stay quiet.”Karina Bobusheva, BA-111

When your boyfriend is jealous of your teacher.”

Anastasiia Shevtsova, JMC-113

Tips to be aware of• Pay attention to what you

say before you actually do it.• Don’t forget about com-

mon sense when making a joke• Be curious and skeptical of

so-called popular phrases

You Are What You Listen toPeople of modern generation are

surrounded by music. Earphones are among the most common accessories young people possess these days. It can be implied that music is always with people on a regular basis when they walk or relax, but there is also a possi-bility that music can help them in their work and studies. Knowing the fact that all people have different music prefer-ences, we, The New Star team, decided to kill two birds with one stone and ask AUCA students the following two ques-tions about music:

1. What kind of music do you prefer?

2. Do you listen to music to stim-ulate your brain activity? If yes, what kind of music do you use for that?

Temirlan Kadyrov, ANTH-1131. Usually I love to listen to Indie rock

and some of Britpop bands, but some-times I just want to have some fun, and I find mainstream trash music, just going crazy about it.

2. When I have work to do I usually listen to The Killers, which is actually my favorite daily music. Britpop music has entered my life recently and I love listening to it during breaks between study periods. It helps me to relax and disengage myself from external distur-bances.

Camilla Fairushina, PSY-1141. When I was 15-16, I used to adore

Linkin Park and Evanescence. Actu-ally I still do, but I am not that big of a fan now. I listen to all kinds of songs de-pending on how I feel on that particular day. I love listening to sad songs accom-panied by piano, sinking into my imagi-nation and dreams… YouTube helps a lot too, watching someone playing the piano encourages me to do so as well!

2. While doing my homework I don’t listen to anything, because that would disturb my attention and completing the task would take much more time. I kind of reward myself with the joy of listening to music, since for me there isn’t better relaxation than music. It can take all the frustration away and fill me with some positive thoughts.

Melis Yrysbaev, ECO-1121. Actually, music is the thing that

can express my mood, so my playlist is directly affected by it. Some people pre-fer spending their free time watching sitcoms, movies, or maybe doing some reading. But there are other people on the planet who just listen to music, and I am among them.

If I have bad mood I can start to listen to such music bands as Dope, Bullet for My Valentine, Kiss, AC/DC, and, of course, my favorite rock band System of a Down. If I have a kind of situation when problems in my life are becoming annoying and unsolvable, I prefer lis-tening to Russian rappers, but not those guys who are rapping about GANGSTA CRIMINALS, but rappers like Рем Дигга, Noize MC, Oxxxymiron or sometimes even Карандаш.

And of course, as all teenagers do (yeah I’m nineTEEN, so I can pass for a teenager) sometimes I have that kind of mood when I’m thinking about someone

special, if I can say so. And that’s where my ‘criminal story’ begins. When I have this kind of moments, I can start listen-ing even to Kyrgyz pop singers. I know it may seem weird, but for me some lyrics lines sound much better in Kyrgyz. And of course there are moments when you need to free your brain from everything and just enjoy some odd music. Trap, dubstep and bigroom branches of elec-tronic music fit these situations the best.

2. As I said before, I listen to music all the time. I was listening to music even on my midterm on Game Theory (thanks to Mr. Urmambetov). What kind of music? Well, I prefer something that is not over-loading my brain. And here Ed Sheeran is the best decision, especially his first album. But I definitely did not mention a lot of other artists when I was answer-ing the questions. Anyway, I think all of you got my message. P.S. I forgot about a Kyrgyz band called Eles. It is the best band ever.

Aida Madylbaeva, ECO-1131. I usually prefer indie or alterna-

tive music: melodic, well-textured in-struments, a pleasant voice. Sometimes it can be rock ’n’ roll, soul, R’n’B. You know, it depends on the mood and en-vironment.

2. However, when I need to study hard, I prefer listening to instrumental music. The absence of words plays a sig-nificant role here: this does not disturb your thoughts. It helps you to concen-trate by creating a particular background in your mind. My favorite composers are Ludovico Einaudi and Hans Zim-mer. Their compositions are simply per-fect for studying or just for relaxing.

Mariia Iamschikova, ECO-1111. I can listen to music anytime, de-

pending on the situation or mood. I can’t really name my favorite artists, but if I tried, there would be Бумбокс, Jan-dro, Би-2, Земфира, Shakira (for their voices in particular). “Океан” by L’One is my favorite song at the mo-ment.

2. I listen to music only to relax. When I have work I’m completely con-centrated on it.

Arstanaly Rysbekov, SWF-1141. I can call myself a music lover

– I listen to different kinds of music: funk, rap, hip-hop, rock, trap – it might change. It is not so much about the par-

ticular genre, rather about a song itself, it should have soft, rhythmical beat and good vocals.

2. When I study, I usually do not lis-ten to music. However, from time to time I listen to classical music when I need in-spiration for writing.

Yana Ivashkina, ICP-1141. I like listening to alternative and

indie rock. I like the sweet sound of gui-tar which makes me dream. That’s a bit strange, I know. Also, I like listening to dubstep. I admire 30 Seconds to Mars and Lana Del Rey because such kind of music motivates me.

2. I can’t study without music be-cause it helps me to relax; sometimes it brings me unusual ideas and different calls to action. Music is a very important part of my life. So, make music, not war.

Masha Savelyeva, JMC-1121. Well, I really go well with every-

thing. But sometimes I get RRS (random ratchet syndrom) and start shaking for R’n’B or rap. Sometimes I feel good, but then I listen to Zemfira – and I’m all set for nostalgia. So it really depends on the mood or situation.

2. I cannot concentrate on actual studying when I’m into music. I prefer to either listen to every word in a song to get the core emotions, or not to listen at all if I’m busy with work or studies.

Zufar Ismanov, SFW-1111. My music taste is very diverse.

Let me recall my favorite genres… those would be: chillout, trip-hop, ambient, pop-rock, nu-metal, symphonic metal, funeral doom metal, dark ambient, grun-ge, post grunge, indie rock, celtic folk, new age. From time to time I switch to mainstream electronics, or even pop.

2. When I work, I try to switch to something more downtempo and calm. Jusmine Thompson’s covers on You-Tube usually work for me, but also I lis-ten to dark ambient and other slower stuff.

Ermek Duishoev, ICP-1121. I prefer listening to rap! Reasons:

rhythmic beats and bass lines put me in the best state of mind – rap ‘rocks’ me, the rhythm of the music resonates with my body talk. Rap has strong, un-derstandable, witty, philosophical, and, what’s really important, simple lyrics, based on personal experience of artists.

2. Sure, work is going be hard with-out music, but thinking, reading, or writ-ing feels better with rap instrumentals. If lyrics are really meaningful, I uncon-sciously start focusing on them, and it interrupts the thinking process.

Suvanbek Duishenov, IBL-1121. I don’t have one specific genre that

I like, but I would like to mention On-eRepublic, The Script, The Fray, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran.

2. Usually music hinders me from fo-cusing on my work, so I don’t listen to it when I study.

Arsen Egemnazarov, SFW-1141. Usually I listen to classic

rock, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Guns’n’Roses, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin. Queen and Pink Floyd are the best for me. From modern rock bands I’d like to single out System of a Down, Tenacious D, Foo Fighters. Sometimes I can switch to pop music, like Marina & The Diamonds.

2. I listen to metal during studies. It makes the process more comfortable and is especially effective for reading. Anoth-er advantage of music is that it allows to measure time in a special way.

Nur-Peri Kudaibergenova, ECO-111

1. I’m listening to different kinds of music, but generally to pop. The main thing is that the melody and the voice of the performer should be good and in-teresting. I don’t listen to rock music or electronics.

2. Never tried.

Moeen Sabisi, BA-1141. It actually depends on my mood.

However I like the club music, trap, and Indie pop.

2. Sure, I do. While studying I listen to the instrumental melodies such as piano or violin songs, piano version of “Numb” is one of them.

As for me, it’s hard to describe my everyday music preferences precisely, but I can use words “atmospheric” and “deep”. It can be downtempo indie, rock or pop stuff (like The Gather-ing, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Bat For Lashes, Hurts, Woodkid), upbeat pop (Lady Gaga, Marina & The Di-amonds, Mylène Farmer) or even avant-garde music (Björk, Diablo Swing Orchestra). But during stud-ies I switch to strong rhythms of metal (Epica, Nightwish, The Birthday Massacre), since they tune my brain for work.

It can be inferred from the answers that AUCA students tend to be really di-verse in their music preferences, which is great – it’s a clear sign of their mind openness, almost no one indicates an ex-act music genre.

There is another trend I noticed: the guys majoring in math-related fields are more likely to listen to music when studying. Others are either disturbed by music or “never tried”. But there are definitely some exceptions.

Let the music stay with you!Yours,

Yura Kim, ECO-111

Диана Такутдино-ва ( экс-студкор + арт-менеджер и выпускница АУЦА):

«Эту маленькую черново-

лосую девочку я заметила на репетиции кыргызского тан-ца, тогда начиналась подго-товку к её Initiation. Она стоя-ла первая в линии, насколько помнится. Я, конечно же, сразу заметила её выворот-ность ног и старание.

Годы шли, мы танцевали практически на каждом ме-роприятии университета и не только!

Она такой уникальный че-ловек. Никогда не надоест, никогда не предаст. Всегда поддержит, выслушает, мо-жет поиздеваться, но я это ей прощаю. А еще она мега-пря-мая: что думает, то и говорит.

Никогда не забуду наше супер-танго, наших покемо-нов или подушечки «Орбит», наши бесконечные репы до потери пульса, когда мозг уже взрывается от того, что завтра показывать танец, а у тебя только готово одно дви-жение! И ты рожаешь, рожа-ешь и рожаешь, пока не полу-чится конфетка.

Никогда не забуду наш су-пер-крутой тур «Галопом по Европам»! Скажу одно: если меня спросят, кого или что ты возьмешь с собой на необита-емый остров, я выберу Бему.

Помню, как я в Бургер Кинге случайно выкинула поднос, и потом посмотрела на нее глазами 9 на 15, а она все поняла, и мы рванули от-туда, а дверь не открывалась! И таких историй куча!

Дорогой мой, любимый Бемончик, пусть тебе никогда в жизни не будет скучновато, ведь ты окружена такими за-мечательными людьми, ко-торые тебя уважают, любят и ценят такой, какая ты есть. Я очень хочу, чтоб ты меньше парилась и нервничала.

Надеюсь, я наконец-то увижу тебя в мантии, подой-ду, обниму, поцелую и поже-лаю, чтобы тебя приняли в

главный суд страны, главным судьёй, и у нас у всех тогда бу-дет блат и хорошие связи!»

Айпери Иманбекова: «Бема – моя любимая

сестра, которая направляет меня, указывает правиль-ный путь, советует. Она моя душевная подруга, которая никогда не осудит и всегда поддержит. Я обожаю быть в ее компании, потому что она дарит очень много тепла и позитива тем людям, кото-рых она любит.

Когда мы прилетели из Парижа в аэропорт Ciampino в Риме, нам пришлось там остаться. В этом чертовом терминале было всего пять сидячих мест, и те были заня-ты – пришлось спать прямо на полу. Плюс ко всему, наш багаж был в другом аэропорту Рима, поэтому рядом не было никаких вещей, кроме самых нужных, что были в ручной клади. Чтобы я не замерз-ла, Бема вытащила все свои вещи и укрыла меня ими. Я лежала на ее ногах, а она сама на почти голом полу. И разве это не любовь?»

Довран Кенджахунов:“Короче, Бемон мне как

братуха. Она никогда не об-манет, всегда поможет... Без-отказный человек. И если ей в два часа ночи позвонить, она возьмет трубку и не пошлет тебя. Она всегда все говорит в лицо, за спиной не сплет-ничает. Реально отдушинская карабалтинская бабёна.

Однажды на генеральной репетиции Diverisity Week 2012 мы жутко прогоняли. Я, Бема, Чопа и Ойбек про-сто трещали над «Я Никита, у меня все побрито» –фраза, которая нас просто убила. В это время на сцене выступа-ла американская делегация и думала, что мы смеемся над ними. Мда, неловко получи-лось. И от НГ потом отхапали. Но реально смешно было!» =)

Айпери Исмаилова:«До сих пор помню, как

мы познакомились: я была на первом курсе, еще совсем зеленая, а Бема уже представ-лялась опытным человеком в танцевальном коллективе. Я посмотрела на нее и подума-ла: «Боже, до чего же милая девушка». Но не тут-то было! Бема – не просто милашка, а супермикс всех самых уни-кальных качеств. Во-первых, она настоящий талант! Никто не умеет так поднимать ноги в русском народном танце. Во-вторых, очень отзывчи-вая! Помню, как она была психологом для всех во время поездки в Каракол (she knows what I mean). Еще, вроде бы спокойная на вид, а как за-решает в ситуации, и никто добавить ничего не может. Ценю в ней ответственность и целеустремленность, ведь только она может взяться за все одновременно и сделать это на высшем уровне! Всег-да танцевала с ней в паре, и очень благодарна за то, что была рядом в самые класс-ные моменты! Сейчас ведь, и в правду есть столько всего, что вспомнить. Прожив с ней самые замечательные момен-ты в АУЦА, я осознаю, что она делала мою студенческую жизнь краше. И сейчас она делает жизнь АУЦА особен-ной, ее труд неоценим!»

Нурлан Асакеев:«БЕМОНЧИК для меня

один из самых мне дорогих людей. Она из немногих, кто добивался всегда того, чего хочет. Она мне как старшая сестра поможет в чем-то, а иногда так поругает, что стыдно становится. Верю, что она станет генеральным прокурором Кыргызской Ре-спублики. Я буду скучать по твоему слову «ГЕНИАЛЬНО» и по твоим оттопыренным пальцам».
